Gorilla Baby Photos
Posted: Tue Sep 26, 2023 7:42 pm
I am putting these in my blog, but could not resist putting these here. I love the last two when she is trying to suck on her toes!
Notice that mom is holding her upside down! I don't know who the other female is, but she stayed close to the new mom the entire time. Might be her mother since new mom Sully came to the zoo with her mom in 2019. (See article at https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/sully-columbus-zoo-thought-gorilla-male-gave-birth-baby/)
Mom decided to climb into box while holding onto baby!
She is holding onto the baby tightly, but somehow I think she could perfect her holding skills.
Ditto for these two.
This is dad. He keeps an eye out on the goings on in the troop.
A closeup of the baby. She was amazingly alert and busy.
Baby is noticing her feet and trying to reach her toes.
Got it!
And finally, a nice family photo.
